Unaccompanied Children Program — CFDA 93.676

What $8.92 billion on 224 awards means

Assistance listing 93.676 is titled UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $8,922,402,883.52. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a per-child care payment already made.

224 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $8,922,402,883.52 by 224 produces a mean near $39.8 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical shelter-night rate and not a caseload size. A listing with 224 records can still hold $8,922,402,883.52 when each action is large.

122 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 35 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into a headcount of children.

122 recipients in 35 states

CFDA 93.676 lists 122 recipients and 35 states against 224 awards. Recipient count is not unique children. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A care provider can appear on multiple awards; 122 is not a headcount of facilities.

Thirty-five states is a coded-jurisdiction span, narrower than a 50-state formula program. Because 224 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large provider actions can move $8,922,402,883.52 without a matching jump in the 122-recipient count.

Obligations versus care outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $8,922,402,883.52 figure for CFDA 93.676 can include commitments that will disburse as care continues. A separate operational caseload report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 93.676 program page. Do not stretch 224 awards or 122 recipients to cover every related dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 93.676 tables omit

The Unaccompanied Children Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a child roster, not a facility inspection file, and not a placement map. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $8,922,402,883.52.

Place-of-performance on 35 states is a coding field. A provider coded to one cell can dominate geography while care occurs in several localities. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 93.676

A complete citation is $8,922,402,883.52 in obligations for CFDA 93.676, covering 224 awards, 122 recipients, and 35 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

A worked reading of the 93.676 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.676: $8,922,402,883.52 in obligations, 224 awards, 122 recipients, and 35 states. The mean near $39.83 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 122 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 224 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $8,922,402,883.52.

Nothing in the extract splits UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 93.676 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 224 awards and 122 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $8,922,402,883.52. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $8,922,402,883.52 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 93.676, covering 224 awards, 122 recipients, and 35 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 224 awards into a child headcount, or 122 recipients into a facility census. The 35-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $8,922,402,883.52, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 224 award rows.
